Class I took.

I promised I would upload the cards from the class I took in Dayton. It was Michelle Zindorf brayering class. These cards are from the beginner class. I will upload the advance another day. If you ever get the opportunity to attend a class from Michelle don't walk Run. She is a terrific teacher and makes learning the techniques so easy.

Card one I call Winter:
















The second card we did I called Africa:





















The third card I call Tropical:

Brayered Cards

Many have asked how my brayer class with Michelle Zindorf was. It was terrific.
So quick and easy to do once you know the proper techniques. Well worth the time and cost. I am super busy this week but maybe I can upload the cards I made on Saturday. As a special treat, I did win a door prise also, one of Michelle's cards and its even autographed. It was a delightful day.

Joycisms

I love most of the Philisms I hear either from the Doc or quotes as his sayings, Now I am adding Joycisms to my repertoire. LOL


"Never say anything about another person that you would not want said about you, and remember that “we reap what we sow.” –Joyce


I read and hear so often about mean girls. When will we no longer allow any of our acquaintances to be mean to others. Either to their face or behind their backs.
Finding fault, berating, complaining or just plain not understanding isn't an excuse. It just plain doesn't change the outcome. If you can't find a way to help just stay out of it. Put you energies into some other positive thing, stop wasting your life making yourself miserable.
All the talk in the world will not change a thing without action.
If we can't as adults stop the mean girls or stop being mean girls how in the world can we protect our daughters and granddaughters.

Critical

If you have a critical spirit you can find the bad in anybody.


Can you find the good in anybody?

You don't have to feel nice to be nice. Control you feelings. Find your stability. Be dependable.

Reap God's blessings by becoming who he expects you to be.

It's your choice.

Where is your mindset?

Are you praying for joy and peace, and only finding strife.

Could it be you?

Are you borrowing trouble before it arrives or do you greet life with with joy?

If you are emotionally out of control, are you trying to control others because you are miserable?

You have the power to control you, to contol your emotions. Do not allow the enemy to win.

You can be joyful, you can choose your feelings!

Feelings, nothing more than feelings.

How do you manage your feelings?

Are you allowing your feelings to manage you?

Live beyond your feelings and learn what God has in store for you.

Joyce's message was amazing today.

1John 4:16

Where is summer?

Wow, September 1 already, I like fall, but love summer and summer is coming to an end, which gives us an opportunity to get back in the craft room for creativity.

And a great month to increase creativity is September, and National Stamping month.
Most of you should have received your items from CTMH by now, what a great special they were running. I received a lot of free items for hosting the gathering, come over and check them out.
If you didn't order you missed out. But all is not lost, you can still get part of what we recieved. With a $75. order you can get the Pair a Phrase stamp set free, and for $5.00 more the Septmeber SOTM.

Well the calendar is getting full, so wanted you to know a few things going on:
I am taking a class with Michelle Zindorf on September 10, can't wait, it is going to be so exciting.
I am thinking of taking Andre Deer's class on October 20,
I am making a concerted effort to learn to stamp, reading practicing, doing something everyday, to learn how to do this correctly and creativily.

Now for a big announcement. Guess what Ocober 1 is? World Card Making Day. So I will be hosting a crop at my house, on October 1, 9am to 11pm. I have room for 6 people.
Reserve your spot today. Admission is a salad. I will provide soup and dessert.
Please email or text is you will be attending.
